Georgia freshman Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has put together an impressive start to his college career. He was a highly-touted recruit coming out of high school, and chose to stay close to home instead of signing with a traditional hoops powerhouse. Because of this, his name isn't mentioned as much as other freshman, like Baylor's Deuce Bello, Arizona's Josiah Turner or Texas' Myck Kabongo.

But unlike Bello, Turner and Kabongo, the Georgia freshman is the leading scorer for his team. Caldwell-Pope's 13.5ppg are the most of any Bulldog player, and while the team has just four wins and five losses, the young freshman has been showing off his talent on a nightly basis.

The most recent example came on Wednesday night during the annual Peach State rivalry game between Georgia and Georgia Tech. The Jackets ended up winning the contest 68-56, which was the school's first road victory against Georgia in 35 year.

Unless you are from Georgia the game itself was a non-event. Well, except for the monstrous "Dunk of the Year" candidate that was hand-crafted by Caldwell Pope. Even non-Georgians can enjoy a one-handed mean-mugging.

As you may notice, Kentavious took a pretty nasty spill after throwing down the jam. He went to the bench for a few minutes but later returned to the game.
